APS Micro-inverter system and the PV-array. Be aware that the body of the APS Micro-inverter is the heat sink and can reach a • temperature of 80°C. To reduce risk of burns, do not touch the body of the Micro-inverter. - Page 6 The distributed Micro-inverter system ensures that no single point of system failure exists across the PV system. APS Micro-inverters are designed to operate at full power at ambient temperatures of up to 65°C. The inverter housing is designed for outdoor...
- Page 7 The APS Micro-inverter system provides smart system performance monitoring and analysis. The APS Energy Communication Unit (ECU) is installed by simply plugging it into any wall outlet and providing an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to a broadband router or modem. After installing the ECU, the full network of APS Micro-inverters automatically reports to the APS Energy Monitor and Analysis (EMA) web server.
